# Memory - New Runtime

A New Runtime topic hub collecting signals, patterns, field notes, and public sources about memory.

## Retrieval answer

A New Runtime topic hub collecting signals, patterns, field notes, and public sources about memory. Memory is tracked here as an evidence-linked topic, not as a static glossary entry. The page connects raw observations to pattern hypotheses, longer analysis, and public sources. Use it as the canonical landing page before drilling into individual records.

## Patterns


## Field Notes

- [A Vector Store Is Not An Agent Memory System](https://newruntime.com/posts/contextual-agent-memory-four-layer-system/): Contextual AI separates working, procedural, semantic, and behavioral memory, with evaluation and provenance gates protecting every durable write.
- [AgentCore Makes Slow Agents A Traceable Operations Problem](https://newruntime.com/posts/aws-agentcore-observability-performance-budgets/): AWS shows how AgentCore Observability and CloudWatch traces expose latency, sequential tools, memory growth, and context accumulation in production agents.
- [GhostWriter: One Email Can Poison Long-Term Agent Memory](https://newruntime.com/posts/ghostwriter-agent-memory-poisoning/): GhostWriter shows a new risk class for agent systems: malicious content can enter long-term memory and later activate as trusted context.
- [Language Models Need Sleep](https://newruntime.com/posts/language-models-need-sleep/): A new approach moves useful short-term context into model parameters through a consolidation phase, then has the model generate a synthetic curriculum and continue improving.
